this is swimming with problems: 1. why on earth is there now a "tab bar" whgen i have no tabs. just a single terminal? why is my terminal now bloated and taller eating up useless space REPEATING what is already in the titlebar? 2. when you hide the tab bar it's not remembered and terminal cell grid/size is broken now as it never changes/adjusts for the tab bar hide/show 3. when you hide the old tab switcher controls (4 boxes top-right) is half off the window to bring it back (separate from the actual switcher), when i have no tabs.. and i don't want to bring it back., 4. initial focus is broken - i open a terminal and cannot type in it at all ... until i click the terminal itself. i have to do this EVERY TIME i start terminology at all/ it's become INCREDIBLY painful to use. seriously. this is so broken it's not funny. revert until it no longer is majorly annoying rendering terminology nigh unusable.please bring this back when: 1. focus isn't totally broken and it works. try pointer/soppy focus one day if you didn't see this 2. when out of the box when i have no tabs, nothing at all has changed. no tab bar etc. etc. just as things were. 3. when sizing isnt broken with the tab bar - base size is broken for wm hints so for example e reports 80x24 but its really not. fix sizing (egf to still have 80x24 chars but the window expands when the tab bar appears/slides down or contracts when it hides.. OR ... overlay the tabbar on the terminal, so it doesn't alter visible contents... but definitely not what you had). there are smaller things - like long titles don't fit in a tab entry but they center so i don't see the beginning of the text and the end is cut off too - likely you want a different behavior like "Long title is..." rather than the current "g title". the tab bar kind of looks out of place. visually. it has a lighter grey bg next to the dark bg of the term... it looks like its just a box of flat grey with buttons on it... it would make more sense imho if it had no bg and was overlayed on the same bg as the term... (personally i would have done this custom with edje objects and a custom layout of them with mouse-over scrolling like the tab selector has in 2d, but in 1d here). if you wanted tabs i would have visually designed things to look actually tab-like with a ... "tab" coming off the existing terminal (and other unselected tabs to the left/right covering it up to look a bit inset with "tabs" in the bg). don't get me wrong. you're doing a fine job with terminology! just this here is a bit of a misstep and a stumble. i personally don't like the idea of wasting vertical space for tabs always being there, but people insist on wasting their space and want it so fine - do it.. but.. do it "nicely" then and don't break existing usage without tabs. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
